New York to São Paulo meeting time — find the best time to meet across ET & BRT.

New York–São Paulo is Latin America's busiest business bridge — banking, agribusiness, and tech flow across a gap of just one to two hours. Brazil abandoned daylight saving in 2019 and now sits permanently at UTC−3, so New York is one hour behind for most of the year and two hours behind during the US standard-time months.

Golden window with standard 9–5 hours: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM in São Paulo = 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM in New York · 6h of shared time.

Scheduling tips for New York ↔ São Paulo

  • Nearly the entire business day overlaps: 9:00 AM in New York is 10:00 AM in São Paulo outside US DST weeks.
  • The exception matters though — while the US observes daylight saving and Brazil does not, the gap widens to two hours.
  • Brazilian business culture runs slightly later lunches and meetings; scheduling after 10:00 AM local respects the rhythm.

New York – São Paulo FAQ

What time is 9 AM EST in São Paulo?

9:00 AM EST is 11:00 AM BRT. Once New York switches to EDT, 9:00 AM becomes 10:00 AM in São Paulo — Brazil stays on UTC−3 all year since ending daylight saving in 2019.

Do New York and São Paulo teams have easy overlap?

Exceptionally easy — seven or more shared working hours daily. This is the gentlest intercontinental pairing the planner covers.

Does Brazil still change its clocks?

No. Daylight saving was abolished in 2019; São Paulo remains on Brasília Time (UTC−3) permanently, so only the US clock moves the gap.
